i don't think you can powdercoat our stock rims. I know they can be painted. Just cause, they is already a clear coat over them.

p.s. IF I AM WRONG, JUST TELL ME. DON'T JUMP ALL OVER ME!

P.S.S. I DO KNOW OF A SHOP. $50.00 PER RIM

Noel (SolarXclipse) had his rims powder coated. You should ask him for more details.

SHL200m - As stated above by ReHeat.... PM Solarexclipse and get the details. But Noel lives in San Diego....so he may have used a shop in San Diego.

Try calling Olympic PowderCoating in Santa Ana see if they do rims.....
Keep in mind.... where ever you go... your total costs are gonna include removing the tires from the rims, remounting and balancing and I think the center caps are plastic? so you will also need to color match them tooo...if they are plastic.

Justin1933 powder coated his stock rims black with a company in Santa Ana. I'm sure he'll reply with the specifics (or pm him) but let me tell you they look bad ass. They do have to get rid of the enkei log during the process.

and yeah you can't powdercoat the center caps as they are plastic. have to spray paint em i suppose

to powdercoating theres 2 things you need to do.

1. you need to take the color (paint) off ur rims
2. paint your rims

i did this a long time ago with my old car, i took the paint off at some place in santa ana, and i got my powder coating at

Aero Powder coating inc
708 Monterey Pass Rd.
Monterey Park, CA 91754

tel: 213-264-6405
fax: 213-264-1529

it was about 4-5 year ago that i did it, and they are a small place so i dont konw if they still r open. if you ask them they will tell you a place to strip off the paint. they did a good job, but the bad thing about getting white rims is that it gets dirty really really easy, and if you dont clean it at least onces every 2 weeks you will get spots all over the place!! with that in mind, good luck on your powder coating
